letters/emails Your Say MAY 2008 Hello Michael This month’s Earthroamer conversion update reveals that they don’t have the space to fit an engine-driven compressor, because of the size of the diesel engine, so they will look to install a battery driven one, probably a Viair. They also didn’t like the Optima battery that came with the Jeep, and will install a Lifeline starter battery, which will go with the Lifeline AGM which they use in the camper. Write to: Jeep Action Australia 8 Laurel St, Korora, NSW 2450 and will hold the spare, two 20L jerry cans, a shovel and an axe, as well as a hi-lift jack. A tow hitch can be fitted. I am also fitting a heat reduction hood from American Expedition Vehicles - assuming that the diesel engine will not get in the way. So some challenges, but they have good solutions, and are fussy about the quality of the products they use, so I am confident of the outcome. Regards Martin Hi Michael, Thought you might like this little photo taken down at Boambee Beach one evening. ‘God smiles upon Jeepers’ eh? Camp Coffs was a blast, hope everyone enjoyed their chopper ride. Cheers, Tracey The charger that they use in the camper will operate with the chemistry of the Lifeline AGM, and may burn out the Optima. A bit beyond me. The 10L hot water tank (heated by the engine), is placed behind the right hand front seat, and prevents full travel of the seat. Not a problem for a left hand drive model, but as I am 1.92m tall, I need the full seat extension. They are working on this. They also need to source a diesel air heater for the camper, but should not be a problem. Also, the external power source needs to be 240 volt, and not 110 volt. Again, not a problem. The steel rear bumper will be from Garvin Industries. Hi Michael & Robyn, Just a quick note to thank you both and all the Coffs Coast Jeepers Club crew for making Camp Coffs a great holiday - so well organised and Nana Glen a perfect place for it - lots of our group who did not go are all envious now - maybe next year! Kind regards John & Maureen Gorely (Black Grand - which went so well everywhere!) Hi John and Maureen. Glad you enjoyed Camp Coffs 2008. Robyn and I are happy with the way the event went and the Coffs Coast Jeepers are a great bunch of Jeepers and friends. Editor Jeep Action Australia Hi guys, This is my 97 Wrangler getting a wash in a creek bed that has been dry for years but was full after the big wet. Our beaches on the Sunshine Coast have washed away but there’s still plenty of fun to be had in the hinterland! Oh and the little girl in the driver’s seat is my five year old daughter Kizzy who says she wants a pink Jeep when she grows up, so I may have to respray the TJ in about 12 years from now. Love the mag. Chrisso on the Sunshine Coast! Hi Chrisso Looks like you’re enjoying your Jeepin. Editor May 2008 Hi Tracey Thanks for the beach shot and for making the chopper flights available again at Camp Coffs. It must be fun jumping out of a Wrangler and into the chopper.
